Lamentations 5:4-9 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

4. We have drank our water for money; our wood is sold to us.

5. Our necks are under persecution: we labor, and have no rest.

6. We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.

7. Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.

8. Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.

9. We procured our bread with the peril of our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness.
